I've been using them with bmr springs for a couple months. rides pretty decent but the roads arent too bumpy here. Dont have any track/strip use with them yet but hopefully at the end of the month.

im not to concerned about the street driving. I hardly drive the car so anything comparable to stock for comfort is fine, i wanna know if i can adjust them to get this thing to squat and take off like a bat outta hell.

I have em in the front on my V6 F-body (stock springs, Bilstein rear). Made a very noticable difference and I highly recommend them if you don't want to pay a ton for the Konis. Like what other people said, AGX is nice for the adjustability, but Bilstein is fine if you don't want adjustables (if you can find the ones with the older valving - pretty tough to locate). Anything less than KYB AGX/Bilstein's I would not recommend.

That said, I now wish I went with the Koni's and either 1LE or Strano springs.

P.S. I accidently had set the front AGX's at the 1 setting for 2,000 miles of a 3,000 mile roadtrip with no idea they weren't set to 3, because the ride was so much better than my worn out stockers. doh!

I installed the KYB AGX with the prokit springs about a month ago. My 60' times dropped from 1.50-52 to 1.44-45. Gettin about 2' of air under front left, and 8" - 12" on right side. Still trying to find the best setting for mine, but so far there working great.

I've got mine set on 7. I'm also using sportlines, SFC, etc. I've had Konis & Bilsteins before and I like the AGX's too! Konis will probably last a little bit longer. But when you're riding on rails and it feels like a 4x4 anyway I'm hard pressed to tell the difference.
